Yeah I read that article in the Times when it came out. You have to consider the socioeconomics of the two immigrant groups. You have to remember a couple of things. First, in order to emigrate to the USA, it's usually one of two categories, family or skills. Can we assume a lot of the Asian families came under the skills category? Probably yes. Can the same be said of the Latino students? It depends doesn't it? For a lot of US border states, no. The immigration is via family unification. And yes, I am generalizing. But I am backed up my studies such as Population and Environment, Volume 20, Number 6, July 1999 , pp. 527-544(18) which basically say the same thing. In fact, Asian immigrants are more educated than their American peers. As evidence, Asian immigrants and workers in Asia don't do nearly as well. Singapore, Hong Kong and other developed Asian countries import a lot of immigrant labor from poorer Asian countries and none of these emigrant groups have settled and done prospered.
